If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
For if you want to save your own life, you will lose it; but if you lose your life for my sake, you will find it.
Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
If you continue to live in sin and entertainment of the laws of the world you will loose your life to death but if you give up your life as sacrifice to God and live as a follower believing in he who is salvation shall save his life and gain God’s eternal life. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for? Only in him by giving up entertainment to the world will you gain life.
